Get your coffee fix with Roast Mortem

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I am currently reading Roast Mortem, book 9 in Cleo Coyle’s Coffeehouse Mystery series. Cleo Coyle is the pen name of award-winning author Alice Alfonsi, collaborating with her husband, Marc Cerasini. It is obvious from what I have read so far that they did plenty of research to get all of the details of the firefighters and coffee-making business right. Even as a non-coffee-drinker, you might find yourself salivating over the descriptions of the perfect cups of espresso, lattes, and every other variation on coffee that you can think of.

Celebrate Cozy Mystery Day

We are rapidly approaching Cozy Mystery Day!

Dame Agatha Christie’s birthday is on September 15, so that was selected as the date to celebrate cozy mysteries! Time to catch up your reading on your favourite amateur sleuths. Jessica Fletcher stumbling across another body in Cabot Cove? Miss Marple peering out her window or listening in on the latest village gossip? A baker or knitter who just can’t be held responsible for the rash of murders in her small town?

Come back to Booktown for: Not the Killing Type

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I have read several of Lorna Barrett’s Booktown cozy mystery series in the past, so was happy to return to the fictional village full of bookstores (what kind of a dream town would that be?) with Not the Killing Type, book #7 in the series. So nice to get back to Tricia, her employees Mr. Everett and Pixie, and of course her cat, Miss Marple in the Haven’t Got a Clue mystery bookstore.

Get your noir fix with Crashed

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

Junior Bender is a burglar, not a private investigator, so maybe I can’t properly classify it as hard-boiled or noir. But the atmosphere and the colorful language and descriptions are as familiar as any Sam Spade. The characters are colourful, fun, and described well. This twisty little mystery is a great read so far, I will definitely read more of the series.

Follow this Cat Under Fire

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

This week’s read is Cat Under Fire, the second book in Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s Joe Grey Mystery series. I’ve read a couple of other books in the series. They’re a lot of fun. Murphy’s cats do break a few physiological rules as well as being anthropomorphic speaking and thinking cats. They see in colour. They sweat. And, of course, they solve murders. Most of the humans are not too stupid, but they don’t seem to have the same drive to track down the killers as Joe and Dulcie.

Books Featuring Prison Breaks

/ 5 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I’ve done all kinds of themed posts and book lists here before, but one that I haven’t done is prison breaks!

This topic was prompted by my latest release, On the Slab Pie, which revolves around a prison break.

As I was brainstorming for this book, I started to wonder how many people Erin Price had ended up putting in prison in the first seventeen books of the series. And… it’s a fairly significant number. There are a couple of books where no one ended up going to prison for one reason or another, and other books where two or more people end up there. So I decided it was time for a reunion with a few of these villains!
